The Boss Well Borer.

J. W. Moore, of Titusville, Pa, has
probably drilled more oil and gas wells
than any other man in the world, his
record being over 700 wells. In the
course of few weeks he will start
what is designed 10 be the deepest oil
or gas well in the oil country. 1t will
be put down at Franklin by a syndi-
cate of that city, and the drill will be
made to penetrate mother earth to the
distance of 5000 feet The owners
will pay no attention to an ordinary
strike Of gas or oil on the way down,
as they are bound to find out the mys-
. --gieas Of that unurecedented depth.

Washington Opera Company. The weeks
engagement forms the annual benefit OF the
Washington Light Infantry Corps, and for
that reason, n for no other, the performances
are likely to he well attended. The opera,

fine. "The Lily OF Killarney will be fol

when the operetta ballet, something quite
novel, will be presented.
NATIONAL THEATRE-RELLAR.
Kellar, the famous magician, opened a
two weeks engagement at the National
Theatre last night. His performance differs
from the ordinary exhibition OF magic In
that slight-of-hand plays an unlmportant
part in 1t, the main dependence being placed
on the ingenious applications OF natural
laws and Intricate apparatus, and during
his exhibition of "Psycho,r the wonderful
automaton, he astonishes his audience with
demonstrations OF his mathematical powers.
His "cabinet seancesn duplicate all the
marvels OF spiritualsm, and were II not for
his frank assurance that he deals only with
the natural he might easily be suspected Of
an intimate acquaintance with his sulphurc
majesty. The enjoyment OF the entertain
ment was enhanced by the performances OF
Miss Eva Hewett, cornetist, and James
Blamphin, harpist. Mr.. Blamphin, not.
withstanding the fact that he is Just recover

ner that secured him deserved applause.
THE BIJoU-"UNCLE TOMS CABIN"
"urcle Toms Cabin" has not lost It's
charm Of old, as the audience at Harris
BiIou Theatre last night proved. The
Beethoven Quartet is good one, and Jas.
Harrison, as Inclc Tom, got several recalls.
The three bloodhounds brought In make
the river scene most thrilling and realistic.
